Black Gum

A medium-sized tree with dark green, glossy summer leaves.  The fall foliage will radiate many colors ranging from bright red, yellow, orange, and even purple.  In the spring, tiny green to white flowers emerge throughout the tree - they may not seem significant to us, but pollinators love them.  The blue to black berries, which ripen in the fall, add early fall interest to your garden.  These berries are also a nutrient rich food source for many bird species.
